CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 686

A company has won an important government contract. Several employees have been transferred from their existing projects to support a new contract. Some of the employees who have transferred will be working long hours and still need access to their project information to transition work to their replacements.
Which of the following should be implemented to validate that the appropriate offboarding process has been followed?

Answer options

• A. Separation of duties
• B. Time-of-day restrictions
• C. Permission auditing
• D. Mandatory access control

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Permission auditing, as it allows the organization to verify that the offboarding process is properly executed by reviewing access rights and permissions for the transferred employees. Other options like Separation of duties, Time-of-day restrictions, and Mandatory access control do not specifically address the need to validate the offboarding process in this context.
